Galil Mountain

Established at the dawn of the millennium, blends and varietals from Galil Mountain wines gain their complex flavors from six vineyards dotting the stony gorges of Israel’s Upper Galilee mountain range. With its varied elevations hundreds of feet above sea level, cool climate, and mineral-rich slopes of soil, the Golan Heights growing region—also home to Golan Heights Winery’s other Yarden, Gilgal, and Golan brands—is topographically ideal for the winery’s mission of creating a "diverse cultivating environment." Galil Mountain sources twelve varieties of grapes for their celebrated rose, shiraz, pinot noir, and more.
